A teenage boy has been arrested in connection with an alleged "two in one" burglary that saw a Ford Mondeo stolen.

Officers have arrested a 17-year-old boy and recovered a vehicle following the suspected burglary in Redcar.

The arrest comes after a silver Mondeo was allegedly taken during a burglary at a property on Kirkwood Drive in Redcar on Tuesday, November 26.

The car was recovered on Sunday, December 15.

Police believe the incident could be linked to a similar alleged two-in-one burglary in Eaglescliffe earlier this month.

A spokeswoman for Cleveland Police said: "A 17-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit burglary, burglary, possession of class A drugs, possession of class B drugs and driving offences.

"Officers believe that the incident could be linked to another burglary at an address on Lingfield Drive, Eaglescliffe, at around 12:15am on Sunday, December 15, whereby a black BMW 3 series was stolen."

They added: "Police would like to remind members of the public to keep doors and windows locked, even when they’re at home, and to keep vehicle keys away from letter boxes and out of view of potential thieves."
